There's plenty listed in the Market Place subforum here as well.

Keeping:
3x - S. molesta
1x - C. chromaiodes
2x - F. pallidefulva
2x - C. cerasi
1x - B. depilis
2x P. imparis (colonies) 3x P. imparis queens (1x queen in test tube, 3x queens in test tube, and 6x queens in another test tube. Can't wait to see the results!)

Did you drive to get them from Ant Vault? You aren't making any sense.

I can't find any sellers in CA.
We have quite a variety of reputable vendors here in CA with Camponotus species available currently. dspdrew is one of them, and websites from other states with actual permits include AntopiaUSA and Stateside Ants. Would definitely recommend purchasing from these people; I've bought from them before in good condition and at fairly reasonable prices.

Dealing with money and shipping is typically done via PM here in the forum, so it shouldn't be very different from what you're already dealing with on a website. Doesn't mean it's any less secure either, since sites like eBay and certain ant websites also have plenty of opportunities for scams.
Also, there are likely to be vendors within 3 hours of your location, given you can post your location in your profile or upload a "Looking For" post in the Market Place subforum.
